But there is a somewhat happy ending to the story. He was not fired -- which is very unusual in cases such as this. His students started a letter-writing campaign and a congressman stepped in. But I suspect the greater influence was the millions of dollars his grants bring into the university. And here's the ironic twist. Those grants are to study how grazing grasses can be selected or modified to make them more resilient to the droughts in many places of the world that have occurred as a result the recent warming trend (in particular, the pampas of South America where we get most of our beef these days). Unlike the religious zealots who argue over silly solutions for the weather 100 years from now, he's working to come up with solutions for the immediate climate problems of today. But it still wasn't enough to save his tenure. The University is still free to fire him at a whim, which I'm sure they will do when his current projects are finished and the public eye is elsewhere. Such is the state of "free speech" on our nation's campuses. Last edited by Blueblaze; 01-22-2025 at 10:23 AM. |
